Dear Collectors,
I am writing this to inform the poster hobby community that I have amicably 
parted ways with Heritage Auctions after 21 years. During my tenure there as 
Director of Vintage Posters, I was able to use my voice, resources, and 
lifelong love of cinema to make the hobby of collecting posters into a visible, 
exciting, and relevant business. 

Additionally, I was able to build and maintain a network of wonderful friends 
and affiliates who share my enthusiasm for this fabulous hobby. 

After a period of much needed rest, I will be poised and eager to begin opening 
new doors. I am looking forward to keeping my relationship with posters active, 
fresh and innovative.

Re: [MOPO] Our 27th Birthday!

[Phillip Ayling]

Best wishes and a big Thank You, Scott!

MoPo has been a great resource.

 

Phil Ayling

 

From: MoPo List [mailto:mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU] On Behalf Of Scott Burns
Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2022 12:02 PM

Subject: [MOPO] Our 27th Birthday!

 

February 24, 1995: The first MoPo message was posted via the American 
University listserv. 

 

MoPo turns 27 today—a remarkable feat for an old-school e-mail based discussion 
forum. As is my tradition, a salute to those 11 first-day MoPo members: Mahtab 
Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan 
Zweifel, George Nichol, Jeff Static (using AOL name Static555), Cindy 
Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, and myself. Michael, Rob and Evan are still 
subscribed.

 

Poster collecting has changed dramatically over the past 27 years. While the 
Internet allowed MoPo to exist, it also decimated the old standbys of the 
hobby. Gone are all the paper periodicals like Movie Collector’s World, The Big 
Reel, Collecting Hollywood and Autograph Collector. Gone are the printed price 
guides like John Kisch’s Poster Price Almanac and Jon Warren’s Movie Poster 
Prices. Gone are many of the in-person conventions like the Syracuse Cinefest 
and the Fall Cinesation in Massillon, OH. The Columbus Cinevent hosted it’s 
53rd and final show in October, but will morph into the Columbus Moving Picture 
Show this May “under new management” as they say. Buying movie memorabilia 
changed dramatically, too. No more waiting for those massive (sometimes 
handwritten) lists of available items in MCW ads or the next Hershenson sale 
flyer with its nail-biting ordering procedure—will my call get through before 
what I want is sold? And how many “other” poster discussion groups have come 
and gone? Remember Movie Poster Forum, Movie Poster Chat or Movie Poster Talk? 
And for you long-time MoPo’ers who could forget the notorious Style-B?  All 
gone. 

 

The old MoPo FAQ, composed in the early days of our group, is now just an 
archive of what was.

 

No matter, MoPo is a survivor and keeps chugging along. We’ll continue on until 
there’s nothing left to talk about, or an auction to promote. 😊 Or until 
American University turns off the listserv!

 

Thanks to you all,

Scott

MoPo List Owner

Todd,

 

Thank you so much for all of the wonderful information and personal context.
This is much more than I hoped for. Great story!

 

Best wishes,

Phil Ayling

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Has Your Frankenstein Monster Gone Missing?

 

Yes.  I first saw this figure as part of the Forrest J. Ackerman auction at
Gurnsey's Auction House in New York in December of 1987 named, THE WORLD OF
FORREST J. ACKERMAN AT AUCTION.  This was also where I met the New York TV
Horror Host Zacherle for the first time who was at the viewing who was out
of costume, casually walking around looking at the material, when a friend
pointed out, that's John Zacherle!!  Zacherle was around 70 at the time and
he didn't look a day over 50.  I couldn't believe how much younger he looked
than his 70 years.

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/192355310180

 

The figure was not owned by Forry but was consigned by someone else and from
what I remember was kind of a last-minute addition to the sale, although I
believe it still made it into the catalog.  It was so intriguing; I swore it
looked exactly like Karloff's complete costume from The Bride of
Frankenstein.  The next day I brought a binder of Bride of Frankenstein
stills to compare and after studying it for a while, including all the
stitching, EVERYTHING matched up exactly.  This was Boris Karloff's costume
from The Bride of Frankenstein!!  Not only that.  The figure itself was
supposedly used at the end of the film as a double for Karloff when the
castle was blown up.  The head itself was restored but this was the same one
supposedly shown in publicity shots with James Whale and John J. Mescall,
cinematographer for the film, where the head was on a stand.  

 

 
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005796/mediaviewer/rm1739050496?context=default
<https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005796/mediaviewer/rm1739050496?context=defaul
t&ref_=nm_phs_md_1> &ref_=nm_phs_md_1

 

On the initial viewing at the auction house, the figure was lying flat in a
large wooden crate and the costume was in excellent condition.  Security was
very poor and I was horrified to find out after several days that people
were ripping pieces off the costume as a souvenir; buttons off the jacket
and pieces of leather off the boots!!  I alerted Arlan Ettinger(owner of
Guernsey's) about this but it was already too late when he now had someone
standing guard. 

 

I was very interested as was my friend, the late Kevin Burns and we were
thinking of going in on it together.  We talked to Arlan Ettinger, the owner
and auctioneer at Gurnsey's and found out that the minimum amount the
consignor would accept was $10,000.00, which was a lot of money at the time.
Kevin and I couldn't decide on an agreement on how to co-own it and when it
was time to come up for sale, the press was there with live camera's and
Ettinger was going to make it "sell", one way or the other.  Well, it didn't
sell but he made like it did and it was a lot more than the $10k minimum
bid.

 

Vey shortly after the auction, I was doing one of the poster/memorabilia
shows in California and somehow by coincidence, I was talking to someone who
was the consignor of the Frankenstein figure!!  His name was Ken Kramer, a
film collector who passed away in 2016.  Ken told me that he responded to an
ad in The Recycler about a garage sale in LA where he acquired the figure.
He mentioned how he had the head restored.  He wasn't at the auction in New
York and didn't hear anything about what had happened to the figure, except
that it didn't sell.  I gave him the bad news that when he gets it back,
it's not going to be in the same condition it was when he sent it to
Guernsey's and he was basically speechless.

 

Now sometime after this(not sure how much time) the figure ended up at a
Christie's London Sale.  I was at Christies East(on East 67th Street in NYC,
I believe 219 E. 67th Street) and happened to see the catalog.  It was a
beautiful catalog, which I had to have with a closeup headshot of the
monster.  From what I remember at the time, it ended up selling for
somewhere in the high 20's, something like $27,000, which was quite a bit
more than the $10k, Kevin and I could have had it for.

 

Well, that's my story as best as I could remember and yes, I did see this in
person.

 

Todd

Propstore, one of the world’s leading film and TV memorabilia companies, 
announced that Grey
Smith, a noted industry expert, and lifelong collector is joining the company 
to lead their United
States poster auction offerings. Smith was previously the founding consignment 
director for the rare

"We are thrilled to have Grey join the Propstore team, given his extensive 
industry experience and
track record of curating some of the most successful poster auctions in the 
world,” Propstore CEO

Angeles-based poster auction

Grey began collecting movie posters as a child and the thrill of finding the 
rarest examples has never
left him. Throughout his youth, he was regularly buying, trading, and selling 
some of the best pieces
in cinema history. When Smith completed college, he entered the film industry 
and worked in
production for twenty years while continually searching for poster rarities 
during his travels.
In 2001, wishing to have less time on the road away from his family, Smith 
pivoted his hobby into a
career when he took a position at Heritage Auctions to produce and develop 
their poster auction
program. He subsequently left Heritage in 2022.
“Grey’s knowledge of film and posters is encyclopedic, and his enthusiasm for 
the field is incredible,”
stated Brandon Alinger, Propstore COO.

Re: [MOPO] Angela Lansbury 1925-2022

[Phillip Ayling]

She was a super person! 

 

I was privileged to play in the orchestra for numerous performances of Sweeney 
Todd in Los Angeles in 1982. This was shortly before Murder She Wrote started.

 

 

Besides being fantastic in the part and having tremendous energy (doing the 
role of Nellie Lovett probably close to 1000 performances, between Broadway, 
Kennedy Center, LA and other venues as part of a National Tour), she was an 
inspiration to everyone around her. 

 

Not a Diva bone in her body.

Hello Mopo,

 

I have made a new mini-documentary on Golden Age Gangster posters.

It includes many rare and some never-before-seen posters, as well as some fun 
information and visuals.

 

It can be viewed on YouTube at the following link:

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GWQ64m-vDU

 

Even if you don't collect gangster posters specifically, I hope you will have a 
chance to watch and share with others!

 

Hope you enjoy!

Garth

Re: [MOPO] Oscar reminisce and some fun things

[Phillip Ayling]

The Oscar for Best Original Critique goes to Greg Douglass!

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Oscar reminisce and some fun things

 

Picture me as the kid in the back of the class, the one with horn-rimmed 
glasses, a Tin-Tin hairdo, wearing a shirt dyed with a color not found in 
nature, wearinf high-water pants.

Raising hand timidly:

"Sirs, I really like 'Avatar 2' a whole bunch. And it made me cry when that 
donkey choked on the fat guy's finger."

I would be immediately pantsed and made to walk home in nothing but my poo-poo 
undies. (Thank you, Madeline Kahn.)

My wife and I saw Cameron's latest in an empty theater in early afternoon We 
felt like studio executives. We were absolutely transported for 2 1/2 hours 
away from all our worries. I had the same feeling as when I was 7 years old and 
saw "Forbidden Planet". Sometimes you don't wanna think too hard. Thank you, 
James. 2 billion well-spent.

Let me put my pants back on...ahh, that's better. (Changed my undies too. I 
thought it was just gas when I made a quiet test-toot in class. I gambled & 
lost) Loved "Banshees...", very dark, and hilarious. Made me think of the joke 
"Irish Alzheimer's is when you forget everything but the grudges.."; 
"Tár"...glad I play rock music. Blanchett was amazing but I cannot empathize 
with predatory characters. "All Quiet..."...I kinda like the original better 
but, hey, I'm a film dork. "Elvis"; loved Tom Hanks! Saw the comeback special 
live years ago; if Elvis had sung "Here Comes Santa Claus"...good lord. Austin 
was OK. "Everything Everywhere..."...I've been sober for several years now. I 
think I would have enjoyed the film more before I foreswore the use of 
mind-altering substances. So far, I have been unable to get through it but will 
try again.. Liked "The Fabelmans", especially Seth Rogen playing a womanizing 
beast. Credibly. Haven't seen the other fims but look forward to "Women 
Talking". "Top Gun Redux"didn't like the first one and it doesn't look like 
the present-day noisy testosterone-fest will...ahem "Take my Breath Away" 
either. "Triangle of Sadness" looks like "The Menu" lite.

OK. Returning to the back of the class. Always happy to see Mr. Kusumoto in Don 
Rickles mode. And Kirby; you know we all love you.

Greg Douglass

PS-This is completely random, but I STILL think the movie "Chicago" blows 
goats.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Oscar reminisce and some fun things

Hello Kirb, my pal in Austin.  So you assert with great conviction - that 
BANSHEES is the greatest movie of the year.  Let me express the following in a 
tone that displays great modesty, humility and restraint:

 

YOU, SIR - ARE HIGH ON METH AND ALL KNOWN HALLUCINOGENS ON PLANET EARTH! 

   

The only thing I liked in that movie was the donkey, who should have been feted 
with an Oscar.  He/it deserved an Oscar more than Gleeson and Farrell.   TÁR 
was the best written film of the year even though it took forever to get going. 
 Blanchett plays another bitchy character but she was magnificent. Alas, the 
Academy is not allowed to vote for actors who play predators hence she was 
never gonna win.  Everything Everywhere gave me multiple headaches and had 
multiple false endings.  Voters felt good about their choices and loved the 
speeches - but by next year it will be 2022's version of 2008's "Slumdog 
Millionaire." 

 

Finally, declaring your love for 1963's Cleopatra is so typical, a bloated 
24-sh*t (oh I mean "24-sheet") of a movie featuring wooden, "declarative" 
dialogue that bankrupted 20th Century Fox so badly - that Julie Andrews had to 
ditch her umbrella from Mary Poppins early - and rescue the studio by 
delivering the Sound of Music.  Finally - Tom Jones was a "trendy" Best Pic in 
'63 and oddly feels anachronistic / dated - DESPITE a story that's set in 18th 
century England. Give me Barry Lyndon anyday.  So there. -d.  (All in fun!)

Philipp beat me to the news...was just about to post this! A year ago when
Funko bought Mondo I thought it sounded like a good match and business
decision. Obviously not the case. Really sad news.

The recent Mondo posters have been disappointing (at least to me), but the
posters issued in the earlier years are real winners. I love the Universal
horror and Hitchcock titles especially.  Wish I'd bought them back in the
day.

Re: [MOPO] Convention City Pressbook - No Lobby Cards?

[Phillip Ayling]

Glenn,

 

Good luck on your search.

 

In case you find an ordering address for accessories on the Pressbook, let us 
all know. At 75 cents for a set of 8, I will get a couple of sets.

 

Seriously, when I think of all the amazing publicity campaign with huge print 
runs of posters etc., it is amazing to me that so many pre-1940 items are 
almost non-existent.

 

Though re-releases started in the 1920’s, it still surprises me that some 
Studios archived next to nothing; even for films attached to major stars and 
films where future reference might be likely.

Great information Bruce. Thank You.

 

Other than Kirby and the few others who might have witnessed the 1st purchase 
of that very collectible one-sheet for WATERING THE GARDENER, I have a 
question(s) that I hope some of you may be able to answer.

 

I know that there are the very occasional titles for which there are still 
lobbies, but does anyone know the film titles attached to the last studio 
issued 3-sheets; 6-sheets; ½ sheets and inserts?

Here are more important milestones in the early history of movie posters (I am

c.1898 - what is believed to be the first poster for a specific movie is seen, 
for the comedy short "Watering the Gardener"
c.1901 - the first traditional one-sheets for single movies appear
c.1909 - the first one-sheets with actors billed appear
c.1909 - the first exhibitor magazines appear

Other than Kirby and the few others who might have witnessed the 1st purchase

I know that there are the very occasional titles for which there are still

Re: [MOPO] PEE WEE'S BIG COMEBACK

[Phillip Ayling]

The upcoming Pee Wee film is done for Netflix rather than as a wide release 
theatrical… so… there will probably be few posters, few billboards and (even 
counting for inflation) less money spent on marketing than any of the prior 
films. It will not crowd any other comedians out of the movie business and will 
be real easy to avoid, if that is what one wishes.

I saw Billy Connolly live four weeks ago - this is about the eighth time for me 
- Connolly is a comic god - his genius is that he is all about observation.

Connolly has Parkinsons disease and also has had prostate cancer - both 
diagnosis on the same day - and yet he made us laugh about it.

Paul Ruebens is unfunny he cannot compare to the likes of the Pythons, Ronnie 
Barker, Billy Connolly, Lee Evans all Brits or Chevy Chase, Dan Ackroyd, John 
Belushi, Steve Martin and the like all of the same era as Pee Wee. Pee Wee's 
great adventure was an embarresment...I saw it first time around in the US and 
all I saw was a creepy little guy taking cinema goers money. And now he is 
making some sort of come back - 

- it all comes down to a matter of taste - I predict his new film will do no 
business in Europe. 

Steve Carrel has to be one of the latest great talents on cinema screens and 
transcends international humour - he is a comic who deeserves his plaudits. We 
can all pick out favourites...Pee Wee is way down on the scale and is so 
unfunny...

Believe me we have some who are just as bad in the UK - Frank Skinner for 
example - another one who thinks he is funny and possibly the worst is Russell 
Brand - he's about as funny as a fart in a space suit!

Back in the late 1970’s I apprenticed the troupe and was a manager for the 
Groundlings Theater in LA on Friday nights.

 

Paul Reubens initiated a new character - a naive kid who just got off the bus - 
who in the storyline eventually evolved into a comic.

All of LA was mythic and eye-opening to this character and he had a way of 
making you see the fairy tale of it all through his eyes.

 

This was the first appearance of Pee-Wee and on successive Friday nights he 
would appear and hone the character - change things here or there - draw in the 
audience more and more - Until he finally put together Pee-Wee’s Playhouse - 
the stage production - with other members of the Groundlings group - truly 
brilliant comic talents.

 

The movies were fun, I thought -

But, all I can say is that in person in those early days and through the 
development of Pee-Wee’s stage show -

I have seen few things funnier or laughed at fewer things harder that I did 
that show.

 

Rubens would come out tossing candy to everyone, dancing on his tip toes, 
engaging the audience.

I don’t know what it was - but he definitely tapped something both mythic and 
absurd - a wonderful and unusual combination.

 

Paul was always a very kind and gentle person, even quiet, and it was a shame 
he hit the Hollywood Babylon skids as he did.

We all have our feet of clay -

But in the old days - when it was fresh and never seen before - his act was 
nothing short of scream out loud riotous - you literally couldn’t get the air 
out of your lungs fast enough.

 

Jeez, I’d love to see something that funny once again!

 

Alan

I worked on several of the Pee Wee movies as I have played oboe on many of
Danny Elfman's film scores. I had heard about this and it is indeed very

where he played a character named.wait for it.HERMAN

And here is something I'm sure, most of you didn't know:   

2014 saw the release of a documentary film called Above and Beyond. It was
produced by Nancy Spielberg, the youngest sister of Steven Spielberg.

It documents the story of the handful of American, and other foreign
nationals, that were veteran flyers in the service of various Allied forces
in WWII, and went on to volunteer to the fledgling, ill-equipped Israeli Air
Force, to help defend the new state during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It
would be impossible to over-emphasize their importance and contribution, as
it is widely believed that those few "foreigners", five to be exact, have
changed the course of the so called War of Independence.

One of those volunteers was Milton "Milt" Rubenfeld (1919 - 2004), a pilot
who flew for the Royal Air Force and U.S. Army during World War II. He's
none other than Paul Reubens' (Pee-wee Herman)  father. 

Just thought some of you might find it interesting.

I think it's clear by now that Adrian doesn't enjoy Pee Wee.  Who knew that
when I posted this rather interesting article from the Times Magazine that
we were going to 

unearth all this.  Adrian seems to have a very clear idea of what and who is
funny and what and who isn't.

 

But I think it's worth noting that what and who is funny morphs thru the
years.  In 1948, audiences thought that Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were
madly funny - and Paramount rejoiced as they kept stashing all that cash.
Later the French almost enshrined Lewis as not only funny, but a serious
auteur.  Have you watched HOLLYWOOD OR BUST recently?  I adore Monty Python,
but you might get a yawn from more than a few post-millenials, who might not
get what the big fuss was.  And the Goon Show?  Now that really is an
antique.  But nevertheless I appreciate them, and I adore Peter Sellers.
But do you think that people would howl at A SHOT IN THE DARK today as they
did at the Inwood Theater in Dallas when I first saw it.  I doubt it.

 

I think that Pee Wee (Paul Rubens) was not so much funny himself as he
brought something entirely new to comedy.  He saw people like George Lucas
mining pop-culture gold and turning it into adventurous faux sci/fi.   I
think that he realized that all that pop-culture stuff could be sent up
comically just as well.  And he, and the ensemble he worked with, did just
that extremely well, re-filtering childhood in America in the fifties in a
way that mixed nostalgia and the absurd brilliantly.  And I think that
Netflix and Judd Apatow have a well placed bet that the American public will
pay to watch him on Netflix go at it again.

 

But I will say that the last thing I find Pee Wee is "creepy."

Michael, I too agree that the MOPO group is wonderful. While I am not in any
way a fan of Pee Wee Herman, I do acknowledge he holds an important role in
American cinema. 

 

Pee Wee's Big Adventure represent's Tim Burton's mainstream directorial
debut as well as Danny Elfman's scoring composer debut and Phil Hartman
helped co-write the script.

 

Without knowing who was responsible for what; the interaction of comic
ideas, visuals, manual props and music for a scene often called The
Breakfast Machine is utterly brilliant. Even if you don't find that scene
funny - in my opinion - the story boarding, design, effects, filming and
post production music attached to that bit represents filmmaking at the
highest level of skill and creativity

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVdqwD_bcPs

It is a scene almost 5 minutes long with virtually no dialogue. It was
filmed; it wasn't CGI processed.

cancer for quite some time now.  He was a rare soul that doesn't come along
often.  So kind and gentle, smart and funny.  He will be missed
tremendously, not only by those of us that loved him but by all those he
touched along the way...goodnight dear friend.

Re: [MOPO] Patty Duke 1946-2016

[Phillip Ayling]

She was great for all she achieved and for handling all the abuse and pain
that she went through. During its time and currently she was the youngest
actor to ever have their name as the title for a TV programme; The PATTY
DUKE Show. Rest in Peace

Very sad, indeed.

 

She was incredible in the Miracle Worker, and I also LOVED her TV show (that
i saw in later re-runs). I thought the opening and theme song were very fun
and the show was well done. That she played and pulled off both roles so
seamlessly always impressed me, more so, when I was a kid.

 

She will be missed.

 

RIP, Patty and Cathy Lane.

Re: [MOPO] Movie Poster Theft - GOOD NEWS - FULL RECOVERY

Wonderful news!
Rich, you and some unknown folks here at MoPo made a difference and it
resulted in a great outcome. That's not always the case. Congratulations!
In addition to the $1000 it cost him, whenever you see Frank again, I think
a wonderful dinner for you is in order.

Hey Mopo

my friend had a superb outcome and guess what.

MOPO helped!

someone here on MoPo  saw a dozen items listed on ebay and messaged my buddy
Frank.

after a day or so, and not getting much help from the police, Frank called
the ebay seller, who was getting some strange messages (I figure some other
Mopolians and APF'ers may have been wondering about the stuff) and when
Frank got him, he already had a feeling the material might be hot.

He said that a guy at a flea market consigned the material to him and that
person had bought them 'out of the trunk of a car'
not always a signal by itself, but Frank gave the guy who bought them at the
flea market $1000, got everything back and is a happy camper

he wanted thank Mopo

always great when there is a happy result!

Sad, but she lived an amazing life of strength and courage.

Her life and her being signed at Warner Bros. reminds me of how - in

Re: [MOPO] Heritage charges

[Phillip Ayling]

Grey,

 

Thanks so much for chiming in and offering an “official” response. It is
appreciated.

Grey - 1367
Sent: Saturday, June 18, 2016 7:13 AM

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Heritage charges

 

Sorry for the delay in responding. I’ve been preparing my July catalog so my
time on MOPO has been reduced. I think that many of the answers that you’ve
read from some MOPO members here are indeed correct. Heritage made the
decision to raise its minimum Buyer’s Premium on lots selling below $100
which, by the way, I argued against, but which the executive team believed
necessary due to our expense structure.

 

Frankly, to believe that we have little expense involved in selling these
posters other than just “listing material” is a bit naïve. Heritage employs
roughly 500 personnel in over ten cities with showrooms and overhead in the
US, Europe and Asia. We have 30 web programmers and IT staff alone, along
with accounting, photography, legal, marketing, etc. Saying this was done
out of greed is again unfair; Heritage did it so that it could continue to
offer lower priced lots singly rather than in bulk without losing money on
them.

 

Posters selling for less than $100 are limited in each weekly, but some of
our buyers really appreciate being able to buy just the posters they want
rather than having to buy groups. And I think nearly all of our consignors
prefer to sell their posters either singly or in the smallest groups
possible. Of course any consignors who prefer not having the $19 come into
play with their lots can ask us to group-lot any posters we think might sell
for less than $100, and we will happily do so. 

 

The buyer’s premium, as stated well by David, is indeed prominently
displayed whenever you wish to make a bid or to raise a bid. There is
nothing deceptive nor mysterious about that, in my opinion, and as stated so
well by Rich, it is the buyer’s choice to accept or not.

 

I don’t believe I have more to say concerning this and for those who feel it
is an undue increase or financial burden to them, I regret that, because I
do care very much about my buyers (and consignors).

 

But again, the bottom line is that it was the only way Heritage management
could justify our continuing to offer posters valued under $100, without
automatically auctioning them in bulk lots that would bring at least $100
hammer per lot.

exactely Tommy ,  it's like they're taking some insurance but it gets paid
by the  buyer 

so if others bid besides you and it goes just over what heritage fixes then
you'll be paying less then winning the poster just under that fixed line and
getting taxed 19$ ?

If Bruce can run auctions the way he does with everything starting at 1$
and continually keep his business growing then i think the only word here
with this 19$ policy is greed , i guess heritage suffers from the ebay
syndrome , keep on pushing to see how far it bends without snapping in your
face

Sorry, but that's missing the point. HA do not have to sell posters for low
amounts, they are choosing to do it, and then asking the buyer to pay for
their decision. If I want to sell a poster for $10 I don't say the poster
will cost you $10 but I also want a further $19 for my trouble.I could try
selling it for a fixed price of $29 but if that is way above its market
value who is going to buy it?  Anyway, I have bought and own the poster and
hope someone else might want it, unlike HA who have no outlay other than the
cost of listing the item. They are attracting consignors with low value
posters because they know that even if the consignor only makes a few cents
they will still make quite big bucks. No reason why they shouldn't, indeed,
just as there is no reason why the collector should avoid such one-sided
business practice.  And, as I said before, the silence from HA on this forum
is quite deafening.

I agree with Sue. I would also say that on MOPO a couple of weeks ago there
was quite the spirited discussion about Heritage's minimum charges for
posters. Grey Smith, was even kind enough to engage on the topic. Seeing
what Heritage (and others) are selling certainly is of interest to me,
unless such adverts become overwhelming. At least to me, that doesn't seem
the case at this point.

OK, OK, this post is a bit of a stretch but there are enough hobby related 
characters in the tale to make it ALMOST relevant (although a flame or two 
would not be completely unexpected) As some of you know, i am a 
guitarist/songwriter who had achieved a modest degree of notoriety for my work 
with Steve Miller, Hot Tuna, Big brother & the Holding Co., Van Morrison, Greg 
Kihn and, OK, enough of THAT, right? Suffice to say I make enough off music 
to support my poster habit.
I recently hooked up with Richard Halegua at second-tier comic show. Rich and I 
had a blast hanging out speaking reams of fluent geek when I met a pal of his. 
We hit it off instantly; he knew a LOT about music. He and I we both stunned to 
discover that I knew many of his decades old vinyl bootleg cover art, including 
an EC-style "Tale from the Who". We bullshitted for a very long time and i 
mentioned that I had just finished what i felt was my absolute best collection 
of musical work. He agreed to do the cover, and deal was struck. Shortly after, 
I discovered he was none other than Willam Stout, an album artist, movie poster 
designer ("Wizards" comes to mind, , the set designer for ZZ Top's early 90s 
tour, and th creator of many of the undead  pinks in "The Return of the Living 
Dead"  . He told me recently that he would have purchased my CD regardless and

Re: [MOPO] do i babble nonsense ?

[Phillip Ayling]

There is no real official authority for all of this, but there is a small
nuance to consider. The country in question is Canada and from an exhibition
and marketing standpoint US film producers consider Canada as part of the
United States Domestic market. That is how BO receipts and profit
participation is calculated (except for the Quebec/French speaking part of
the country). While International campaigns for a big Hollywood film may
roll out differently in other English speaking countries like Britain or
Australia, the publicity materials are almost always identical in the US and
Canada, even if the wide release dates are staggered (though they usually
aren't).  

 

Ratings for US films are done in the US by the MPAA (Motion Picture
Association of America). While the MPAA is rather well known, it is
generally not so well known that they are just the political lobbying arm of
the AMPTP (The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers). This is
just a business practice/PR move that the studios put in place to do away
with local and regional censorship boards that once existed in many US
states and cities.

 

While ratings are almost always on a US poster, it is only a requirement if
you want MPAA certification.  The fact that a poster doesn't have a rating
box on it, doesn't mean that the poster was not intended for domestic US
consumption. It is very common for advance posters to be made without
ratings boxes (even if an MPAA ratings box will be desired for the release
version). Often times, release posters (with contractual credits and release
artwork) are prepared for premieres prior to a final MPAA rating but before
the printing of a large general release run of posters. 

 

Those posters often say something like "This film is not yet rated", however
that disclaimer is a more recent practice and is not to be found on all
advances. In times past there have certainly been plenty of posters made in
the US (with artwork identical to the eventual release poster) with no
ratings reference box at all. Most of those were (and are) sent to US
theatres for premieres, benefits and festivals. This advertises the film
with all of the appropriate star and director credits even before the final
cut/answer print is completed and available to be sent to the MPAA for
review. Those posters were definitely intended for domestic use and in many
cases they may be absolutely identical to posters identified as "the
international" version.

Filip, 

 

It is a good question, but I would tend to lean towards your summation. I
think you can tell an overseas poster that was printed in the US by the
artwork being exact. There are some posters that essentially copy the US
artwork-I see that a lot with Hirschfeld's work, which I guess is a form of
flattery (and indolence.) 

 

I'll see an "A Day at the Races" one sheet with the exact stone-litho US art
and just the Spanish copy-it is usually the "Espana" posters, not something
from Mexico, as those posters definitely vary from the US ones-and some
variations are interesting, like the adding of color to artwork, that wasn't
color before, etc.

 

The "Phantom of the Paradise" is a cult-classic, so not surprised there are
"experts" on the posters, but it is a strange beast as you have commercial
posters that are odd sizes like 33x33" (see filmartgallery seller on eBay)
and there is a one-sheet revised with new art released in 1975. It has the
"PG Guidance" on it-I guess it is a bit scary to see a guy dressed like a
bird on a mixing board climbing and crowing. 

 

As a seller, the bird seller Swan could be a little more polite-especially
to a customer. It isn't "nonsense" as their are validities to both
statements and a difference in codification shouldn't elicit consternation. 

 

I've seen US artwork on Belgian posters as well. There is a great example of
a "What? No Beer!" Belgian poster (sold by

Re: [MOPO] New California Autograph Sales Law

[Phillip Ayling]

According to various news reports in CA, the legislature is probably going
to revisit this law in the new year, because it is so poorly written. The
likelihood of a big wave of enforcement starting this week in CA is also
unlikely. As it is now, the Certificate of Authenticity is so complicated
that authors couldn't do book signings of their own books in CA nor could
performers sign autographs, for example, at Comic-Con since admission is
charged for Convention access or for individual autographs... unless the
heavy and expensive certification requirement was met. The intent was to
stop companies that are engaged in wholesale forgery of memorabilia.

Here is an article from the LA Times.

Re: [MOPO] Interesting results at a UK auction today

[Phillip Ayling]

Timing and luck is everything. If you originally bought the poster 40 years ago 
for $3, as some have, the return beats inflation whether you sold it today or 
15 years ago. In the case of this seller’s widow, it looks like many of the 
items were acquired for free, so the return on those in the aggregate ( other 
than her possible discomfort at sharing her living space with a hoarder) was 
probably way beyond her expectations.

 

Had the widow sold all the posters to the ‘friend’ for £1,000 and had he then 
resold them within a year or two, his investment return would have been rather 
fantastic too. All in all as a collector I still feel good about what I have 
done economically in that I have made some money and not lost money. Better for 
me than investing in things I didn’t understand or turn things over to a money 
manager, while hoping I’d found a good one.

Nice group of rare quads came up at a provincial auction house in the UK today.

 

The highest prices were for War Of The Worlds (£18,000), Forbidden Planet

to front £4,300). All of these amounts are before buyer’s premium/fees of ca. 
25%.

 

There were some crazy prices paid (e.g. Great Escape for £3,500 before BP/fees, 
Psycho £2,400 before BP/fees).

 

Astons was the auctioneer. It got fair amount of publicity, partly because the 
War Of The Worlds was on the UK Antiques Roadshow a long time ago.

these  prices. Just goes to show that being a big fish in a small pond can work

Re: [MOPO] R2D2 Just Sold at Auction

[Phillip Ayling]

Yes, Thanks Dan. It often seems to me that "breaking news" headlines about 
auction items that are designed for the public at large are usually a little 
higher on drama and a little less accurate about precedent or back story than 
one would get from most experts in the know.

good point, but not sure if you caught the rather egregious fraudulent claim 
within the article, that this is the world's most expensive dress sold at 
auction when it's public record (and should be rather common knowledge to us 
movie memorabilia mavens) that marilyn's white 7-year itch dress brought, to my 
recollection, nearly $1M more than this in the historic first debbie reynolds 
collection sale.

Re: [MOPO] Right price?

[Phillip Ayling]

I kind of lean towards ‘greed’, though  I think more correctly it can represent 
an inflexible or possibly immature business practice. If you have an immediate 
sale/turnaround in play, then your profit margin can absolutely be lower than 
the normal mark-up you need, but some people are just not able to adjust from 
their theoretical benchmark. Something similar happens when people continue to 
list an item way above market value. It might eventually sell, but if it takes 
years and years, then it might mean that you overpriced and inflation lowered 
your price for you.

 

People are free of course, to do what they want, so over time it just informs 
me about with whom I should deal.

Subject: [MOPO] Right price?

 

All been a bit quiet here recently, so here is a hypothetical situation for you 
to consider. A dealer advertises on MOPO that they are looking for a particular 
poster, and you reply that you have one for sale at $500. They respond that 
current auction prices are around $300, so you suggest that they would have to 
wait for an auction then. You point out that they are likely (according to past 
data) to be looking to sell the poster  to their client for around $1500, so 
your price is reasonable. Their answer is that, although they haven't been able 
to find the item elsewhere, as a dealer it makes no sense to 'overpay'. Does 
that in fact make sense, or are they just being greedy?

Re: [MOPO] Bradford Dillman 1930-2018

[Phillip Ayling]

I really liked him very much. Though he may well have wished for more
theatrical films, his presence on TV shows always elevated them so they felt
more like big screen events. I know that he was married to Suzy Parker for
many years; he wrote some books, one of which dealt with his life-long
passion pro-football. In fact, I think he was even solicited by some teams
for his skill as a football talent scout.

Bradford Dillman has died at 87 due to complications from pneumonia. 

 

His face was familiar to TV viewers in the 60's and 70's due to frequent
appearances on the small screen in classic shows like 'Dr.Kildare,' 'Alfred
Hitchcock Presents,' 'The Wild Wild West,' 'The FBI,' 'Medical Center,'
'Mary Tyler Moore,' and 'Barnaby Jones.' On the big screen his best roles
were in 1959's 'Compulsion' with Orson Welles and Dean Stockwell,  'Escape
>From the Planet of the Apes' (1971),  'The Way We Were' (1973) and in Clint
Eastwood's Dirty Harry films 'The Enforcer' (1976) and 'Sudden Impact'

Re: [MOPO] Nerdiest question ever....

[Phillip Ayling]

"If the surviving 1945-75 posters didn't originate one way or another from
the exchanges, where the he[ck] did they come from"

 

It's important to note that there were numerous private poster services in
the US and Canada; some as early as the late 1920's.

 

NSS didn't get into the 'poster' business until the late 1930's and they
didn't handle posters for all the different studios as a virtual monopoly
until several years after World War II. Among the last studios to come
aboard were Columbia and Republic. Even then, NSS continued to sell to the
private exchanges for about 15 more years until freezing them out
completely.

 

Many pre- 1965 posters that are now in collections came by way of these
private poster services. In 1960, when I was 10, I dealt with 4 different
poster services just in Oklahoma City alone.

 

The stock in these exchanges (excluding materials made by the "Other
Company" or other non-studio printers) was generally acquired by an exchange
in four different ways:

A.  From the studios themselves; or the Litho Companies that had been
authorized to sell to exchanges on behalf of a given studio.

B.  From movie theatres who had purchased materials officially from a
studio to cover a release and now no longer needed them.

C.  From the merger or acquisition of another exchange.

D. From NSS as they gradually became dominant and then a monopoly.

I know two large companies in particular that bought huge amounts of paper
from a couple of different NSS location when they began to go out of
business in the 1970's and 1980's.  One in particular told me that they
attended an event at a NSS facility back east and there were pallets of
paper stack everywhere and it was sold for like 25 cents a pound and you
would just buy the pallet of paper.  He bought paper that looked the oldest.
He bought enough paper that, a few years back when I was at their facility,
they have a large storage container, like the kind you see on freight ships,
filled wall to wall with paper.  I know in particular there was a lot of old
stuff because he has the good stuff.  I know he sold the original half sheet
for Bride of Frankenstein to Ron Borst back in the 1970's.  

 

So, I know there were many companies that were a part of this "clearance" of
paper at the various NSS facilities.  So, I'm sure this is one outlet that
old movie posters are still coming from, that "clearance" stock

Not sure why this percolated into my brain, but did the NSS Exchanges
systematically purge old posters (i.e.10+ years old) so that by the time
they shut down in the mid-80s they just didn't have older posters that were
not - or could not - have been rescued? 

 

I heard an interview explaining that a Canadian exchange one day just tossed
out its older posters. I also read that somebody visited the Atlanta (or
Miami) exchange and it didn't have any older posters when it shut down.

 

If the surviving 1945-75 posters didn't originate one way or another from
the exchanges, where the he[ck] did they come from?

Re: [MOPO] Question for members

[Phillip Ayling]

Kirby,

I used to go around the NSS Depot in LA in the mid 70’s through mid 90’s. 
Perhaps someone on the list would know if that location is different than the 
one you seek from the late nineties.

My memory is of a warehouse type of building set back from a corner on La 
Cienega Blvd; probably near cross streets like 18th or Guthrie. It was nearer 
the 405 Freeway and about halfway between Fox Studios and MGM Studios (now the 
Sony/Columbia lot) and east of both of them. Lots of small ethnic eateries 
nearby then and now.

Re: [MOPO] What percentage of our $50 million of sales are each size or type?

[Phillip Ayling]

Bruce,

 

This is most interesting. Do these percentages represent transaction
percentages or  item percentages? As example, for computation purposes, is
an auction for a Lobby Card set of 8, counted as 8 Lobby Cards auctioned or
as 1 sale allocated to the Lobby Cards category?

 

Regards,

Re: [MOPO] LITTLE MISS BROADWAY

[Phillip Ayling]

She was surely special and the 3 sheet is beautiful reminder of how bright
her star was. Thanks Kirby. I used to watch her films on TV in the 50's and
60's while growing up in Los Angeles and I loved them, even if Roy Rogers
and Commando Cody were more my style.

 

While I see the trades referring to the passing of Shirley Temple, I notice
much of TV and Radio is referring to the passing of Shirley Temple Black and
referring to her political and humanitarian life as much as her films. To
what extent that might be a generational thing? While it is fair to say that
the passing of Philip Seymour Hoffman and Paul Walker occurred under
sensational circumstances, I wonder just how well Shirley Temple is known to
today's DVD buying public compared to other stars from the 30's whose films
still seem to be exhibited with some frequency?  May she and Bill Robinson
be dancing again through eternity.

 

RIP

One of the last great film icons of the 30s has passed.  There just aren't
very many left.

 

Shirley Temple film posters were really some of the first collected.  LIFE
magazine once did a big color

spread called FOOFS - Friends of Old Films - which featured Jane Withers and
her film poster collection, many of

which were Shirley Temple one sheets and larger format posters.  This LIFE
magazine issue was done in the mid-eighties.

That stuff might be online somewhere.  Jane was "the poor man's Shirley
Temple", another Fox child star.

 

At the risk of incurring ire, and being branded as crass, I will post this
link to our site and one of the best

Temple three sheets, I think.

Re: [MOPO] FROM SCREEN ARCHIVES ENTERTAINMENT VIDEO OF ROZSA'S MAIN TITLE TO QUO VADIS

[Phillip Ayling]

Kirby,

 

I share your love for Rozsa's music. The re-recordings are great, both in
quality and the fact that the music can find itself independent of the
demands of synchronization. Often times composers would compose something
only to find when they arrived on the scoring stage that a re-edit was done
and the music had to be re-synched or recomposed right on the spot because
of a last minute picture edit.

 

I also enjoy hearing those recordings (even if sonically primitive by
current standards) which were conducted by Rozsa himself. A trove of great
music for his films can be found here.

In 1959, when I saw BEN-HUR in Camera 65 for the first time, I was not only
in awe of the great spectacle married to

great direction, but I was also swept up in love for the great music by
Miklos Rozsa.  So as soon as I could get the coin together, I went to the
record store and bought the soundtrack in the big MGM box.  That led to
curiosity about the other Rozsa scores, and that led to exposure to the
Great Father to the score of BEN-HUR, QUO VADIS.I soon discovered I
loved it as well.

 

I was delighted to see this video on the website of Screen Archives
Entertainment of the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra playing the main
title.  They have just released a two-CD set of the score.

Re: [MOPO] The Oscars - a slave to sentiment?

[Phillip Ayling]

I agree with all that has been said about the Academy Awards.but at the risk
of saying the obvious, it is really a moneymaking TV Special at its core.
That is about maximizing audience size and  desired demographics for
advertisers. The Producers of the broadcast may be more or less successful
about that during any given year, but I don't see the mandate changing.
Someday there will be Production meetings arguing about whether there should
be  5 seconds, 10 seconds or a 0 seconds cutaway to 80 year old Oscar winner
Jennifer Lawrence.

There was a time when the Academy celebrated the magic of the movies, both
past AND present. That's clearly not the case these days. The only "salute"
to Hollywood's past was the Oz tribute-but they didn't think enough of
Garland's offspring to even bring them up on stage. Couldn't the last
surviving Munchkin, Jerry Maren make an appearance? Nothing against Pink,
but what relevance to Oz did she have? Major missed opportunity Academy!

 

It seemed to me that no one in the audience even recognized Kim Novak
(please no plastic surgery jokes). No standing ovation for this star of the
50's/60's? There's no excuse for anyone in the movie biz not having ever
seen "Vertigo" or "Picnic."

 

And no tribute to Shirley Temple? Come on. Even those members of "new
Hollywood" must have watched a few Temple films when they were growing up.
Of course my beef about classic stars goes beyond the Oscars. Entertainment
Weekly puts Phillip Seymour Hoffman on the cover when he kills himself via a
drug overdose, yet arguably the biggest star of the 1930's gets no mention
on the cover at all? She did get 2 pages inside, but I was surprised they
gave her even that much space.

 

Even when I was in my 20's and watching the Oscars, I always enjoyed seeing
the classic stars who had dropped out of the limelight. I enjoyed the
honorary Oscar presentation and even the Jean Hersholt award .now such
honors have been moved off the Oscar telecast completely.

 

Not to diss the younger generation, but the world did exist before you were
born and there are people and events worth knowing about. I work with some
people who's pop culture knowledge only reaches back as far as the "Alf" TV
show in the 1990's. Scary!!!

My instinctive reaction re modern "stars" is the same as yours, but after

One thing I am certain of is that if you are a fan of the "Ellen" TV show,
then you surely liked the Oscar telecast. And if you like watching people
pat themselves and their peers on the back, you were surely in hog heaven.

I know I am getting really old, because I think the modern "stars" can't
hold a candle to the stars of the 1920s to 1960s.

I always hated those "production numbers". I would SO rather see old-time
stars, and not just given a second and then shuffled off stage.  How about
clips of classic movies that DON'T last three seconds each?

Subject: [MOPO] Dealer Posts on MoPo

 

This is a little long, so my apologies in advance.

 

One point to make here about many of the dealers who post to MoPo is that
they are abiding by the long-standing request to add "FA" or "FS" to their
subject line. (One Mexican lobby card dealer does not add "FA" or "FS" to
his posts, but you can't miss his unique subject lines if you're trying to
avoid his ads.) If you're a dealer posting to MoPo and not adding "FA" or
"FS" to your subject lines, I would appreciate your doing that going
forward.

 

Depending on how you read your e-mail, it is possible in some programs to
sort messages based on subject line and send them directly to the folder of
your choice, be it the recycle bin should you so desire. MS Outlook has this
feature. I'm not familiar with other e-mail programs, but I have to assume
such a feature is not exclusive to Outlook. Of course if you get MoPo in
digest form, you can't do this.

 

While I understand the argument that a movie poster discussion group is
hindered by an overload of "FA" or" FS" posts, the business of collecting
means we have to buy and sell to grow (or liquidate) our collections.  It is
a necessary part of the hobby. Eliminating such posts from MoPo will not
spark an explosion of movie poster discussion. Trust me on this. The real
problem here is not the dealer posts, but the ability of MoPo members to
effectively MANAGE their e-mail. 

 

However, if the membership thinks this needs addressed we can ask that
dealers to limit themselves to 1 commercial post per day. Thoughts??
Dealers can "talk their fingers off" if they want to send non-biz related
posts and share their wealth of knowledge with all of us! :)

 

The lament that MoPo has no meaningful public discussions going on has come
up many times since the group started in 1995. If I had the time I'd try to
chart the "cycle" of MoPo complaints over the years.that would be
interesting! The group has mellowed considerably from the early days
(remember the Donnie/Style B revolt? Or  the controversial posts of the late
Susan Olsen? Who could forget the Susan vs JR battle in 2006?). MoPo has
matured into the quiet forum it is today. Everything changes and evolves
over time (i.e. the Oscars anyone?) After all MoPo is now moving towards 20
years of service and is the oldest poster forum on the Internet. As I said
in my Feb. 24th post on our 19th birthday.."But will be make it to 20?
Should we?" 

 

Maybe we ARE all talked out!

Re: [MOPO] Question re: Film Classics, The Hurricane with Dorothy Lamour

Bruce,

A couple of weeks ago you asked Lumi Hazelton how she was dating some Flash
Gordon Conquers the Universe Lobby Cards as 1945, as you wanted to have
dating info for your database. 

While many Universal and other mid-40's re-releases often don't have dates
on the lobby cards, in many cases those same re-release campaigns probably
had one-sheets or three-sheets with litho numbers. Without  addressing this
one particular film, do you think it is reasonable in similar cases to date
the lobby cards to whatever dateable one sheets seems to be concurrent?

 

Thanks for your thoughts and those of anyone else who may comment.

First off, Channing, that one-sheet is definitely a 1945 re-release.

Second, Phil, we DO assume that the one-sheets were printed at the same time
as the three-sheets and lobby cards, so yes, we can date most re-release
lobby cards with this method.

But note that while sometimes three-sheets and one-sheets from the same
movie have litho numbers that are incredibly close, other times they are
very far apart, so that complicates things. And of course, every litho
company started their numbers over every ten years or so, so the same number
could be from three very different years, around a decade apart.

Re: [MOPO] Premier Props-poster auction---No Way, Heritage & EMoviePoster.com--yes highly recommended.

Jim,

 

You have been a real champion for this hobby. I am saddened by the price you
have paid at various times to promote integrity and high standards and I
hope it is somewhat offset by the appreciation that many of us feel for your
ongoing efforts.

EMoviePoster.com--yes highly recommended.

 

I try to stay positive in life.  However, I must say that I am greatly
disappointed with having participated last November in the Premier Props
auction.  

 

Todd & Dan both asked me to give them some posters for the new endeavor by
Premier Props.  They said it would be good for the hobby & it would bring
new poster buyers into the hobby.  Therefore, I gave them a few items.  At
this point I would say my involvement was a complete mistake.  They did a
horrible job of promoting the items, to the best of my knowledge they didn't
even do a catalogue, and to this day, 4 months later I haven't been paid for
the posters they did sell.  It's four months later & I have no idea when I
will be paid by them!

 

On the other hand, I find E Movie Poster & Heritage to be fantastic to deal
with.  I am a supporter of both Bruce & Grey.  I believe in both of these
auction houses. I am looking forward to Heritage's Auction this weekend &
Bruce's auctions in April.  So, thanks to the two auction houses that truly
are beneficial to our hobby.  Poster collectors, stick with the tried &
true.

 

On the other hand, avoid Premier Props! I don't want others to have the
horrible experience that I have had.   Jim Gresham

Re: [MOPO] Just a quick question: 40 x 60 silkscreens from pre-WWII

[Phillip Ayling]

Thanks Grey ( and all)!

 

I only have one old pre WWII 40 x 60. It is Red River Valley (1941) w/Roy 
Rogers. It is in poor shape, but as Richard described previously, mine is 
delightfully garish and overstated. It is silkscreen on heavy, but super 
dilapidated paper.

It has no printer or distribution info, which is not super surprising, as 
Republic wasn’t yet part of the NSS signatory companies, but this prompts a 
question on my part, which you seem to have helped answer.

 

As Bruce mentioned, he knows these images mostly from the pressbooks, having 
directly handled only a very small number of super old 40x60’s. Bruce is 
certainly the pressbook maven. However, I don't recall seeing much about 
40x60's in my admittedly small pressbook collection for westerns, serials or B 
movies.  It makes sense that some of these (like my Roy Rogers) were done 
independently or outside of the studio publicity dept. Nonetheless, I am 
wondering if there have to be cases where the 40x60 isn’t mentioned or shown in 
the studio pressbook, even though some exchanges would have had them from 
official sources/ Might the studios might have authorized some of them on a 
case by case basis after the initial pressbook campaign was printed and 
distributed?  Anyone know more? Thanks to all. Very interesting.

While they are completely sold out, I know a few dealers may still have them
if you never got a chance to buy them.  Bruce may still have some, Grey may
still have some, I think John at Filmposters and Cory Glaberson still may
have them.  However, I am done completely.

 

I have enough pictures sent from you guys to maybe do a supplement to
Children of the Night, the Horror book.  However, I don't know if I will
ever do it or not.

 

I hope the hobby found these books beneficial, as that is why I wrote them.

Re: [MOPO] ebay security

[Phillip Ayling]

No doubt they are "circling the wagons" for legal reasons at a minimum. They
certainly could have informed people sooner, but transparency isn't
something high on the list of most big businesses; caution is. While
protecting your own economics, you roll out the least you can in hopes of
satisfying people and the law. The more interesting thing for me in the link
that Bruce provided, is just what a continually reduced amount of eBay
business is defined through auctions.

Now that eBay sees they can't sweep this under the table and forget it, they
have taken a REALLY weird action!

They recognize that many auctions were affected by bidders who forgot to
change their passwords on snipe programs, and they have announced that any
seller can cancel auction transactions for an 11-day period!

Of course, this will infuriate the high bidders on those items, who
rightfully won, and now are having those items taken away from them (it is
up to the seller to decide, and of course they will cancel any result they
deem too low, regardless of whether there were any missed bids at all).

While this may gain eBay some good feeling from auction sellers, it will
likely be more than offset from bad feelings from auction bidders, but I
suspect the main reason for this is to protect themselves from seller
lawsuits.

In terms of the US film industry, Hollywood is no longer the place where
movies are made. It is where deals are made and money is counted. Meanwhile
various states, provinces and countries are in a never ending race to the
bottom underwriting an industry that has no interest in building
infrastructure in their locales. At the same time, investment in long term

For all of the anger, pain and disappointment that eBay generates -- both
self-inflicted and on the part of sellers trying to sell an "original 1933"
Portal Publications King Kong poster for $10,000 --

from time to time, eBay is the closest thing to walking into an theatre or

Maybe  the ACADEMY could reach one of them in Serbia as they do Expendables
66 and talk to them about preserving the art form that once brought them to
Hollywood.

I totally agree with Todd

Re: [MOPO] I would say that just about every guy can be classified as a "Monroe fan" or a "Bardot fan". Which are YOU?

[Phillip Ayling]

While success isn't everything, arguably the most successful film of Gena 
Rowlands career was The Notebook, directed by her son Nick Cassavetes who is 
still alive and working. Maybe he will find another film for her at some point. 
Also Gena is  starring in what looks like an interesting Independent film 
called Six Dance Lesson in Six Weeks which is out later this year.

Re: [MOPO] Attention MoPo dealers: YOU saved "text view" (at least for now)!

[Phillip Ayling]

Bruce,

 

I think your decision is a good one. Even better is the respect and concern you 
have demonstrated to collectors, dealers and others by asking all of them to 
inform you about the decision that they wanted…and BETTER STILL is that the 
database (including prices and sale dates) is free and totally open without 
registration to everyone.

 

All the best to you and your team!

Subject: [MOPO] Attention MoPo dealers: YOU saved "text view" (at least for 
now)!

 

Five days ago, I posted the following:

We are going to eliminate the "text" mode from our Auction History and Auction 
Galleries unless we hear from enough people who use it!
 Our Auction History   
and Auction Galleries   have 
contained 3 ways to view results (Grid, List, Text), and the first two included 
images but the last one did not. Some of you have told us that you are "stuck" 
in text view, and it occurs to us that we don't think anyone uses that text 
view, so we are thinking of removing it. We are giving you one week to tell us 
whether you want it kept or not 

 . If no one (or only a few people) tells us they want it to stay, then we will 
soon remove the text view so that you will then only be viewing Auction History 
results in a Grid layout or a List layout, BOTH with images.

The only reason we ever had the "text view" was back from the day (years ago) 
when we had our images in a separate database from our results, and when we 
combined the two databases we kept the "text view" because a few people were 
still on "dial up modems" and they could not handle pages with lots of images. 
But that is ancient history now, so unless we find some reason we missed, this 
"text view" will be gone in one week!

THANKS TO THE RESPONSES FROM MANY DEALERS RIGHT HERE ON MOPO, WE ARE GOING TO 
KEEP THIS TEXT VIEW!

Of course, something could change down the line, but for now, you still have 
text view, and, as always, YOU DON'T HAVE TO REGISTER ON OUR SITE OR "SIGN IN" 
TO VIEW ANY OF THE ONE MILLION PLUS RESULTS (OR THE 933,00 PLUS IMAGES)!

So the next time you are thinking of posting and don't, remember back to this 
time, where just a small number of dealers were able to make a big difference, 
because they took the time to post!

Re: [MOPO] ot: predict the final auction price of the Action Comics #1 on ebay

[Phillip Ayling]

With all the recent talk on MOPO about deadbeat bidders, I feel a great force 
tugging at me to bid multiple millions of dollars thereby causing someone to 
receive the highest priced SECOND CHANCE OFFER in the history of comic 
collecting.

[Phillip Ayling]

Though the final price was about 3.2 million. 13 pre-approved bidders placed 
individual bids (from lowest to highest) in excess of 1.5 million dollars for 
an item of which there may be 100 more.

Re: [MOPO] UPDATE: Stolen Framed Movie Posters

[Phillip Ayling]

Yes David,

 

This is great example of Bruce and others who care (and I definitely include
you, Jim Gresham and various linenbackers and other collectors) who have
paid a price personally or done things way beyond the call of duty to
protect us all.

Subject: [MOPO] UPDATE: Stolen Framed Movie Posters

 

* For the scant few who regard Bruce with antipathy, please delete this
message.

* For the rest, Bruce posted an update in his e-mail club today about the
recovery of 5 of 10 linen-backed posters stolen earlier this year from a
collector in Los Angeles.  Unfortunately, the pricier ones are still at
large, but the good news is this is yet another illustration of how - over
the years - the hobby's membership has worked together to identify and
eradicate the Ebola-like carriers/scammers - large and small - out.  -d.


UPDATE: Stolen Framed Movie Posters (mostly valuable linen-backed
one-sheets) Report
 In club message 709
 , we reported
on a stolen group of valuable framed movie posters in Los Angeles. This
week, we received a message from the collector who reports:

"I thought I would update you as there has been an important development.
Six posters from the stolen group did emerge last week when they were
offered to a local gallery owner. She recognized them immediately and
alerted me, at which time I notified the LAPD. The detective had no interest
in trying to get to the bottom of it, so thankfully the gallery owner worked
it out where the posters were returned to me, and I did pay a reward to the
person who brought them to her, as they were clearly not involved in their
theft.

The posters recovered are: Our Blushing Brides, City Streets, Dance Team,
Big Executive, Derelict. All one sheets, and I am very happy to have them
back in the collection. 

The missing one sheets remain:
Devil Is Driving one-sheet
Riding For Justice one-sheet
Notorious French 23x33
Shall We Dance one-sheet
Pioneer Scout one-sheet

So, sadly the pricier posters are still out there somewhere, but it is quite
possible the thieves will try to sell those as well very soon. Thanks for
spreading the word!"

Here is our original report:

We recently received this very sad news from a long time major collector who
lives in the Los Angeles area:

"I had a whole bunch of framed posters (almost all one-sheets, and all
linenbacked and framed) stolen when I moved into a new house. I'll list them
here just in case someone offers them to you, or anyone in your e-mail club.

Title and size:
Devil Is Driving one-sheet
Big Executive one-sheet
Derelict one-sheet
Riding For Justice one-sheet
Notorious French 23x33
Shall We Dance one-sheet
Our Blushing Brides one-sheet
Dance Team one-sheet
Pioneer Scout one-sheet
City Streets one-sheet"

REPLY FROM BRUCE: That is really sad about the robbery. It is awful there
are such low people in the world. I will definitely keep on the lookout for
these posters. Now that the list of them has run here in the e-mail club,
many thousands of collectors are aware of what the titles are, and that make
it much harder for the crooks to sell them. 
URGENT: If anyone reading this has even the slightest clue as to who stole
these (or if anyone offers you valuable framed linenbacked posters), please
report it, and you may be in line for a substantial reward.

Morrie,

 

Very best wishes on the auction and congratulations on amassing such an

to you that you may have excluded them from the auction for our own use, 
continued display in your home or office, etc.

Re: [MOPO] The Interview

[Phillip Ayling]

I think it is worth noting that Paramount Pictures- which is a US corp.- has 
now pulled a 10 year old film from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt 
Stone from exhibition. Their 2004 comedy film TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE about 
by Kim Jung Un’s father (Kim Jung-Il) was to be shown on Christmas Day by Alamo 
Drafthouse Cinema and other theatres.

 

If one is to believe the US Government (an understandable reach for many of us) 
there are/were no credible threats of violence at movie theatres showing The 
Interview. What does this mean for the exhibition of controversial films and 
documentaries in the future? Prior films about abortion, homosexuality, the 
death penalty and integration have prompted actual demonstrations and credible 
threats, yet they were shown. Would anyone suggest that the new film SELMA not 
be shown because there are still racists, Martin Luther King haters or some 
poorly trained police  in our country? 

 

I also think it is worth noting, that prior to World War II when the US 
actually had a Neutrality Act that limited political comment in films, Columbia 
Pictures (now SONY owned) and The Three Stooges made and released YOU NAZTY SPY 
despite the law and rampant fear and paranoia across the US. At the same time, 
Warners made CONFESSIONS OF A NAZI SPY, despite the law, security issues on the

I think it still amounts to giving in to a terrorist threat.  

 

Also Japan economically is not in a good place, I would think that has allot to 
do with the decision to pull the film as well but I think if Sony had gone 
ahead with showing the film it would shown the world that they are a strong 
nation. Unfortunately this is not the case and is worrying.

Hi, Toochis:

 

Death of a President (2006), about the assassination of George W. Bush was 
controversial, though not as much as this and it had only limited release 
anyway because it was not a major studio film.

 

One thing that never gets mentioned in this controversy is that Sony is a 
Japanese company and thus much more sensitive to pressure to North Korea than a 
US corporation might be, given the dark history that connects Japan and Korea 
and of course Japan’s physical proximity to North Korea.

I think the 9/11-type threats made it tough for the release. Also the other 
studios were upset that audiences would be too afraid to go to the movies. 

 

One question:  which movies have the assassination or killing of a contemporary 
living person in them?  What kind of controversy did they cause?

All very quiet here about what I thought would be an item of extreme interest. 
Who is to blame for pulling the film - Sony or the American cinema chains who 
refused to show the movie?

One more little thing. Not only is SONY a Japanese owned company, but THE
INTERVIEW is a Canadian film.

 

It isn't really a US film, though it was being released and co-produced by
SONY's US subsidiary Columbia Pictures. THE INTERVIEW was filmed primarily
in Vancouver BC and other Canadian locales and was completely subject to
Canadian tax and labor law.

Much of the cost for the creation and production of the INTERVIEW was paid
by Canadian and British Columbia taxpayers.

Actually SONY is a Japanese Studio. One can argue that SONY / based out of
Japan / is trying to keep their Neighbor NK happy by nixing the picture.  If
a Tarantino made the film with an American Distributor then the possibility
that this was going to be released would prob be for sure.
 
United States should lead by example and not let threats made against
because of stupid movies create political headlock.  The whole point of
being an American is that we don't have to put up with this crap because NK
is a country without Diplomacy and Freedoms.  
 
As it relates to the movie poster collectors... The value of The Interview
is going up and now is the time to unload one if you have one.

Shouldn't the United States lead by example? That is by democracy and
diplomacy. Putting out a film were you are assassinating another countries
leader sends out a message that this kind of behaviour is acceptable and
that's wrong in my honest opinion; and especially when writers try to
satirize/label this film as a comedy. Few thespians in Hollywood are
qualified to accurately solve political matters of this sort.  The threat
North Korea poses to freedom and world peace is not a laughing matter. 

The second point I'll make is the release of this picture from an American
studio makes it seem to outsiders that the message, commentary, statements
within the film are representative of the beliefs and ideals of ALL
Americans as a whole.  Plenty of us American's don't feel this way.  We want
to see democracy brought to North Korea in a peaceful, diplomatic fashion.

A Fiction film is a film and that is all that it is. Wether it be about a
world leader being slain or something to do with religion etc... In America
- the core value of the constitution is Freedom of etc... Freedom to make a
film about what ever the heck you want to. And to me, the freedom goes to
the viewer as well. Freedom to view what ever they would like to see. As for
the studio, they have the Freedom to do what ever they want to do. They made
the choice to not screen their film. At least the filmmakers had their
freedom to create it. I would like the freedom to set my own opinion on The
Interview. Now a country that completely lacks Freedom has created fear
taking away mine. We all know The Interview will be released in some format
sooner than later. And with all this controversy well controversy sells.
And Selling/ Capitalism/ is another American Freedom.
